Shall atheists dare insult the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #119 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Shall atheists dare insult the cross Of our Redeemer, God? Shall infidels reproach his laws, Or trample on his blood? What if he choose mysterious ways To cleanse us from our faults? May not the works of sovereign grace Transcend our feeble thoughts? What if his gospel bids us fight With flesh, and self, and sin, The prize is most divinely bright That we are called to win. What if the foolish and the poor His glorious grace partake, This but confirms his truth the more, For so the prophets spake. Do some that own his sacred name Indulge their souls in sin? Jesus should never bear the blame, His laws are pure and clean. Then let our faith grow firm and strong, Our lips profess his word; Nor blush nor fear to walk among The men that love the Lord.

But few among the carnal wise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #127 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: But few among the carnal wise, But few of noble race, Obtain the favor of thine eyes, Almighty King of Grace. He takes the men of meanest name For sons and heirs of God; And thus he pours abundant shame On honorable blood. He calls the fool, and makes him know The myst'ries of his grace, To bring aspiring wisdom low, And all its pride abase. Nature has all its glories lost When brought before his throne; No flesh shall in his presence boast, But in the Lord alone. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Languages: English

Jesus, the man of constant grief

Let them neglect thy glory, Lord

Lo! the destroying angel flies

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #143 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Lo, the destroying angel flies To Pharaoh's stubborn land; The pride and flower of Egypt dies By his vindictive hand. He passed the tents of Jacob o'er, Nor poured the wrath divine; He saw the blood on every door, And blessed the peaceful sign. Thus the appointed Lamb must bleed, To break the Egyptian yoke; Thus Isr'el is from bondage freed, And 'scapes the angel's stroke. Lord, if my heart were sprinkled too With blood so rich as thine, Justice no longer would pursue This guilty soul of mine. Jesus our passover was slain, And has at once procured Freedom from Satan's heavy chain, And God's avenging sword.

How is our nature spoil'd by sin!

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #144 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: How is our nature spoiled by sin! Yet nature ne'er hath found The way to make the conscience clean, Or heal the painful wound. In vain we seek for peace with God By methods of our own: Jesus, there's nothing but thy blood Can bring us near the throne. The threat'nings of thy broken law Impress our souls with dread; If God his sword of vengeance draw, It strikes our spirits dead. But thine illustrious sacrifice Hath answered these demands: And peace and pardon from the skies Came down by Jesus' hands. Here all the ancient types agree, The altar and the lamb; And prophets in their visions see Salvation through his name. 'Tis by thy death we live, O Lord, 'Tis on thy cross we rest; For ever be thy love adored, Thy name for ever blessed. Scripture: Romans 3:25 Languages: English

Not all the outward forms on earth

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #147 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has giv'n, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heav'n. The sovereign will of God alone Creates us heirs of grace Born in the image of his Son, A new, peculiar race. The Spirit, like some heav'nly wind, Blows on the sons of flesh, New-models all the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. Our quickened souls awake, and rise From the long sleep of death; On heav'nly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath. Scripture: John 1:13 Languages: English

Vain are the hopes that rebels place

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #148 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Vain are the hopes that rebels place Upon their birth and blood, Descended from a pious race; Their fathers now with God. He from the caves of earth and hell Can take the hardest stones, And fill the house of Abram well With new-created sons. Such wondrous power doth he possess Who formed our mortal frame, Who called the world from emptiness, The world obeyed and came. Scripture: Matthew 3:9 Languages: English
